ENERGY AND FORCE
能量和力量
(1) The life of the occult student is consciously lived in the world of energies. Those energies have always been present, for the whole of existence in all the kingdoms of nature, is manifested energy, but men are not aware of this. They are not conscious, for instance, when they succumb to irritation, and find themselves voicing that irritation in loud words or in angry thought that they are taking astral energy and using it. The use of this energy admits them with ease to a level of astral living which is not suitable for them; continual use of this energy brings about what the Master Morya has called “habits of residence which imperil the resident”. It is when the aspirant recognises that he himself is composed of energy units – held in coherent expression by a still stronger energy, that of integration – that he begins consciously to work in a world of forces similarly composed; he then begins to use energy of a certain kind, and selectively, and takes one of the initial steps towards becoming a true occultist. This world of energy in which he lives and moves, and has his being, is the living, organised vehicle of manifestation of the planetary Logos. Through it energies are circulating all the time, and are in constant movement, being directed and controlled by the head centre of the planetary Logos; they create great vortices of force, or major points of tension throughout His body of manifestation. The Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet is such a vortex; Humanity itself is another, and one which is today in a condition of almost violent activity, owing to its becoming a focus of divine attention. (18 – 549/50).
（1）秘法学生有意识地生活在能量的世界中。那些能量一直存在，因为自然界所有王国的存在都是显化的能量，而人没有意识到这一点。比如，当他们屈服于干扰，去大声说出这种干扰，或者在愤怒地思考时，他们其实是在吸收并使用这些星光层的干扰能量，可他们没有意识到这一点。使用这种能量可以让他们轻松地进入不适合他们的星光层的生活中，持续地使用这种能量可能会导致Morya上师所说的“危害居住者的居住习惯”。当求道者意识到他自己是由能量单位组成的 —— 被一种更强大能量维持在连贯表达中，他意识到那种整合 —— 他开始有意识地在一个由类似能量构成的世界中运作；然后他开始有选择地使用某种能量，并迈出了成为真正的神秘主义者的第一步。他在这个能量世界中生活、运作，并存在着，这个能量世界是行星逻各斯显化的活生生的有机载体。在行星逻各斯头部中心的引导和控制下，通过这个能量世界，能量一直在循环，并不停地运动着；行星逻各斯在他显化出的身体中制造了巨大的力量漩涡、主要的力量点。我们地球的灵性阶层就是这样一个漩涡，人类自身是另一个，因为它成为神圣关注的焦点，现在它处于接近暴力的活动状态。
(2) The work of the occultist and of the aspirant is to arrive at an understanding of these forces, and so learn their nature and their use, their potency [Page 108] and vibratory rate. He has also to learn to recognise their source and be able to differentiate between forces, energies and rays. For the beginner a clear distinction can be made between forces and energies by appreciating the fact that personalities affect us through the forces emanating from their form aspect, but that these same personalities, purified and aligned, can be transmitters of the energies of the soul. (4 – 291).
（2）神秘主义者和求道者的工作是了解这些力量，了解它们的性质、用途、效用和振动频率。他还必须学会识别它们的来源，并且能够区分不同的力量、能量和光射线。对于初学者来说，通过理解人格通过其形态面向发射出的能量从而影响到我们这一事实，就可以区分不同的力量和能量，不过也是这些人格，通过净化和校准，可以成为灵魂能量的传输者。
(3) Aspirants must learn that they are working with, and in, forces, and that right and wrong activity on the physical plane is due simply to a right or wrong direction of the force currents, and not to anything inherently wrong or right in the energies themselves. (4 – 297).
（3）求道者必须了解，他们正在与能量工作，并且是在能量中运作，在物质层面正确或者错误的活动仅仅是由于能量流正确或者错误的引导，而不是由于这些能量本身内在存在什么对错。
(4) All that is occurring is an evidence of energy and is expressive of force. That is the factor never to be forgotten. It is essential that you recognise them as existing. There is little that you, as individuals or groups, can do about them beyond seeing to it that there is nothing in you which could make you – unimportant as you may be – a focal point of hate, separation, fear, pride and other characteristics, which feed the fires which threaten to bring disaster to the world. Each of you can aid more than you can guess, through the regulation of thought and ideas, through the cultivation of a loving spirit, and through the general use of the Great Invocation, whereby these forces and energies – so sorely needed – can be invoked. (9 – 26).
（4）所有正在发生的一切都是能量的证明，也是能量的表达。这是永远不能忘记的因素。你必须认识到它们是存在的。作为个体或者集体，你对它们几乎无能为力，只能确保你身上没有任何东西可以让你 —— 尽管你可能并不重要 —— 成为仇恨、分离、恐惧、骄傲或者其他特性的焦点，这些助长了带给世界威胁的灾难之火。你们每一个人都可以提供比你想象到的多得多的帮助，通过思想和观念的调整，通过培养有爱的精神，通过对伟大祈请词的普遍应用，这些迫切需要的 —— 力量和能量是可以被调用的。
(5) The disciple learns eventually to know himself to be, above everything else (whilst in incarnation) the director of forces: these he directs from the altitude of the divine Observer, and through the attainment of detachment. . . . These truths are, for you, only the platitudes of occultism, and yet, if you could but grasp the full significance of detachment, and stand serene as the observing Director, there would be no more waste motion, no more mistaken moves, and no more false interpretations, no wandering down bypaths of daily living, no seeing others through distorted and prejudiced vision, and – above all – no more misuse of force.
（5）弟子最终学会了解自己是超越所有一切力量（仍然处于转世中）的指挥者：他从神圣观察者的高度、并通过达成的超然姿态来指挥这些力量…这些真理对你来说只不过是秘法主义的陈词滥调，然而，如果你可以掌握超然的全部意义，像观察的指导者一样平静地站着，就不会再有浪费的动作，不再会有错误的举动，不再会有更多错误的理解，不再在日常生活中徘徊，不再以扭曲和偏见的眼光看待他人，最重要的是，不再滥用力量。
Again and again, down the ages, the Masters have told Their disciples (as I have told you) that the occultist works in the world of forces. All human beings live and move and express themselves in and through that same world of ever-moving, ever-impacting, outgoing and incoming energies. The occultist, however, works there; he becomes a conscious directing agent; he creates upon the physical plane that which he desires, and that which he desires is the pattern of things, and the design laid down upon the trestle board of the spiritual consciousness by the great divine Architect. (10 – 243/4).
历代以来，上师告诉他们的弟子（正如我告诉你们的）秘法是在能量世界中运作的。所有人类存有都在同一个充满了不断运动着的、不断影响的、不断进入和流出的能量世界中生活、活动、表达着自己。不过，秘法学家在其中工作，他成为一个有意识的引导媒介，他在物质层面上创造他想要的东西，他想要的就是事物的模式，伟大的神圣建造者在灵性意识的架构板上进行创造的设计。
(6) Man moves . . . in a whirlpool of forces of all types and qualities. [Page 109] He is composed of energies in every part of his manifested and unmanifested expression; he is, therefore, related to all other energies. (10 – 246).
（6）人…在各种类型特质的能量漩涡中活动着。他由自己已经显化的和未显化表达的每一部分的能量构成，因此，他与所有的能量相关联。
(7) Energies and forces are pouring upon our system and our planetary lives ceaselessly, potently, and cyclically. Yet they are only regarded today as existing when definite response is invoked. They come from all kinds of sources, extraneous to our system and planetary schemes, but until man responds and registers them, both scientists and astrologers, fail to recognise them, and they are as if they were not. This is a point to bear in mind as I continue to teach you, for I may indicate some sources of active energy, which may as yet be unknown to you as playing upon our system and its contents. The difficulty will not be because of my inaccuracies, but will be owing to the lack of sensitivity in the mechanism of response which mankind and disciples are at present utilising. (16 – 198).
（7）能量和力量不断地、有力地、周期性地倾洒进入我们的太阳系和我们地球上的生命之中。然而，只有明确的回应被唤起时，它们在今天才被视为是存在的。它们来自各种来源，在我们的太阳系和行星进化计划之外的，科学家和占星学家都无法识别出它们，它们就好像不是它们一样。我在对你进行持续教导时，你要牢记这一点，因为我可能会指出一些活跃的能量来源，你可能还不知道这些能量在我们太阳系和其组成中发挥作用。困难并不在于我教导内容的不准确，而是因为人类和弟子目前所使用的反应机制缺乏敏感性。
(8) All diseases – except those due to accidents, wounds resulting in infections, and epidemics – can in the last analysis be traced to some condition of the centres, and therefore to energy running wild, to energy overactive and misdirected, or insufficient and lacking altogether, or retained instead of used and transmuted into a higher corresponding centre of energy. (17 – 240/1).
（8）所有的疾病 —— 除了那些因为事故、导致感染的伤口和流行病之外 —— 归根结底都可以追溯到能量中心的某些状况，因此归因于能量不受束缚的运作，过度活跃或者错误的引导，或者能量的匮乏和不足，或者是因为能量的保留，而不是使用并把它转化至对应的更高等能量中心。
(9) The energy and the forces constitute the sumtotal of all that is. This is another basic truism or platitude upon which the science of occultism is built, and which the healing art must recognise. There is, in manifestation, nothing else of any kind whatsoever. Disease itself is a form of active energy, demonstrating in forces which destroy or produce death. Therefore, if our basic premise is correct, disease is also a form of divine expression, for what we know to be evil is also the reverse side of that which we call good. Shall we belittle the subject or cause a false impression if we regard evil (at least as far as disease is concerned) as misplaced or maladjusted good? Will you misunderstand if I say that disease is energy which is not functioning as desired or according to plan? Inpouring energies are brought into relation with forces, and good health, strong and adequate forms and vital activity result; the same inpouring energies can, however, be brought into relation with the same forces, and a point of friction be set up, producing a diseased area, pain, suffering, and perhaps death. The energies and the forces remain of the same essentially divine nature, but the relationship established has produced the problem. If this sentence is studied it will be obvious that a definition such as that can be used to cover all forms of difficulty, and that the ultimate producer of the situation (either good or evil), is the relation-[Page 110] ship aspect. This statement is of major importance in all your thinking. (17 – 587/8).
（9）能量和力量构成了一切存在的总和。这是另一种基本的老生常谈或陈词滥调，神秘学就是建立在它之上，疗愈的艺术必须认识到这一点。在显化之中，没有任何其他类型的东西。疾病本身就是一种活跃的能量形式，表达为破坏或者会产生死亡的力量。因此，如果我们的基本前提是正确的，那么疾病也是一种神圣的表现形态。因为我们所知道的恶正是我们称之为善的反面。如果我们把恶（至少就疾病而言）视为错位或失调的善，我们是否会贬低它，或造成错误的印象？如果我说疾病是没有按照预期或计划运作的能量，你会不会误解？注入的能量与力量相关联，带来健康、强壮和适当的形体和活力活动的结果；不过，同样注入的能量可以与同样的力量关联起来，建立了摩擦点，产生病变区域、疼痛、痛苦、甚至死亡。能量和力量在本质上有着相同的神圣特性，是建立的关系产生了问题。如果研究这句话，很明显诸如此类的定义可以涵盖所有形式的困难，状况的最终产生（不论好坏），是关系的面向。这句陈述在你所有的思考中都非常重要。
(10) It must increasingly be borne in mind that there is nothing in the created world but energy in motion, and that every thought directs some aspects of that energy, though always within the sphere of influence of some greater thinking, directing energy. (17 – 631).
（10）必须要在心智中牢牢记住，在被创造的世界中，除了运动中的能量之外别无他物，每一个思想都指挥着能量的某些面向，尽管处于某些更伟大的思想、引导能量的影响范围内。
(11) We are on the verge of entering a new era in scientific unfoldment, owing to the discovery of how to release the energy of the atom. Not even the scientists responsible for the discovery have the faintest idea of the far-reaching effects of this momentous happening. From the angle of our subject and the theme of this volume, an entirely new language related to energy and force is already in the making; the use of the discovery in the handling of disease will, in almost the immediate future (from the occult angle) be regarded as little short of miraculous. (17 – 713).
（11）由于发现了如何释放原子的能量，我们即将进入科学发展的新纪元。即便是对这一发现负责的科学家对这一重大事件的深远影响也一无所知。从我们的主题和本书的主旨来看，一种与能量和力量相关的全新语言已经在形成；在不久的将来（从秘法学的角度），这一用于疾病治疗的发现使用会被认为近乎奇迹。
(12) The effect of the impact of energy is dependent upon the nature of the vehicle of response. According to his equipment and the nature of his bodies, so will man react to the inflowing energies. (13 – 85).
（12）能量冲击的效果取决于回应载体的性质。根据他的配备和身体的特性，人会对流入的能量做出回应。
(13) Due to the effort of countless thousands of men and women everywhere, energies hitherto unable to penetrate deeper in to substance than the hierarchical substance, and the levels of the higher mental plane can now, for the first time, be successfully anchored on dense physical levels, or at least upon etheric levels. This is a fact, and is far more important than you are perhaps able to appreciate. (13 – 659).

（13）由于各地无数男男女女的努力，迄今为止无法渗透进入比灵性阶层的物质更稠密的能量、以及来自高等心智层能量，现在可以第一次成功地锚定在稠密的物质层面，至少是在以太层。这是一个事实，而且要比你可以理解的要重要的多。
